It is an indirect test for MTB infection (including disease) and is intended for use in conjunction with risk assessment, radiography and other medical and diagnostic evaluations. A single whole blood specimen is collected by venipuncture into a lithium or sodium heparin blood collection tube. The...

Tuberculin skin test (TST), which has been used for the diagnosis of LTBI for a century [5], is relatively inexpensive and does not require laboratory facilities to perform. Nevertheless, its limitations like high rate of false-positive results in bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccinated or in...
Combining clinical assessment, cytology and Xpert MTB/RIF may allow for a rapid and accurate diagnosis of childhood TB lymphadenitis. Larger diagnostic evaluation studies are recommended to validate these findings and on Xpert MTB/RIF to assess its use as a solitary initial test for TB lymphadenitis...
Data were collected through interviews with 514 TB patients under treatment in 2007, using the Primary Care Assessment Tool adapted for TB care in Brazil. Indicators were constructed based on the mean response scores (Likert scale) and compared among the study sites. Results "Access to treatment"...
Importantly, we were able to confirm the very high specificity of Xpert MTB/RIF in a large sample of specimens from children in whom TB had been excluded by careful clinical, radiological and laboratory assessment and follow up. Positive Xpert MTB/RIF results have been reported in a small numb...

As of July 15, 2013, 114 participants (6%) had not yet reached their 9-month assessment; 52 participants (3%) were due for their 9-month follow-up. 1,329 (70%) participants had completed their 9-month; 252 participants (13%) had died or withdrawn. Overall, this yields a 90% ...
Combination of the new generation mouse models with advanced imaging technologies will also allow rapid and inexpensive assessment of experimental vaccines and therapies prior to testing in larger animals and clinical trials. Bringing the new generation mouse models and readouts to the field will also ...
